Video Player

Basic Android Video Player. This application plays video files from the SD card. File should be MPEG4 or 3GPP with H.264 or H.263 and MP3, AAC, or AMR audio. Videos need to be 480×352 or smaller to play back properly.

Video Player is just what the name says… It’s a basic video player for Android videos stored on the SD Card. It lists your videos, simply tapp a video and it plays. You can play, pause, fast-forward, rewind, and scrub video playback. If you rotate your phone, Video Player auto rotates in landscape or portrait video playback mode. Though basic in features we find it more reliable than some video playback apps.

Gripe Alert: Video Player lacks advanced features like Playlists, video searching, lyrics, tagging, auto playing the next video in your list, shuffle and repeat. At least there is an alternative in TuneWiki

Should you Download Video Player? With limited choices for now… but Yes! UPDATE: with Android phones running Android 1.6+ this basic video player functionality is baked in by default when playing video versus the need for a separate- basic, and now seemingly deprecated app.

I am thinking about getting a Android phone to playback video, but can anyone kindly tell me can ACT 1 video player or Android Tapp playbcak clips in fast forward mode (1.5x or 2.0x)while the sound can still be heard? I need the the phone come with function to view videos in fast forward mode so I can save half of the time…….(quality is not important)

Yeah, it’s a very good player, BUT…… The price tripled in 1 year. It costs $2.79 now and they have a very strange update policy: you buy the full version and after some time you get a message you MUST update and they charge you $ again!!! You do not have a choice if you want their update or not!! So it becomes the never ending story: they make an update, you pay!

I am confused. The free downloaded version does not have a user interface. I put two videos on the SD card in my HTC Hero. When I start the video player it just tells me there is no video. Does it look in some specific directory?
